operations through its activities like cross border trade, exchange of information and technology,
movement of people across the world and other economic factors like exchange of currency etc.
It has lead to the autonomous movement of goods and services and people across different
countries and has affected various functions of business like-marketing, HR, Operations and

company and deals in packed foods, chocolates and dairy products. The company has its
operations in 194 countries across the world. Nestle has around 450 factories and consists
339,000 employees working for it across the world. This project report will highlight the process
of recruitment and selection and employees training of Nestle Plc and the improvements to gbe

selection and training process of the multinational organization and to understand what
improvements can be made in these processes to meet up the international standards in context
with globalization. On the flip side another purpose for this project preparation is for the
academic requirements of the researcher.

issues related to recruitment and training process?
Project Management Plan
Project management plan is a document which defines each and every aspect of the
project. It adds structure to the process by assigning an order to all the important parts involved
in the plan, therefore, it includes scope, schedule, cost and quality, human resource,
communication and risk which are mention in detail below:
Scope- Scope of the project refers to its utilization in certain areas. The outcomes of the
research project report will be beneficial for the academic learners as well as the corporate

purpose(Palinkas and et.al., 2015). The report will help the Nestle Plc in relation to its internal
operations and will also be beneficial for academic learnings for students as well.
Cost — Cost is the prior thing to be considered before conducting the activities of the
research. Identifying the cost of different elements and activities will provide the researcher a
cclear overview of the overall budget for this project. Researcher has considered cost allocation
of all the activities and the total cost for this project is £7000.
Time- Time management is the another important element of this research project to be
considered by researcher. It includes allocating time schedules for every activity and setting up
deadlines for each activity to complete the project within specific time limit(Teherani and et.al.,
2015). The researcher has scheduled the time for all the activities by relating to the overall
deadline for this project completion.
Communication- Communication is an element that establishes coordination and
connection between the people. It connects the stakeholders of this project with the researcher
and lets him collect the required information in relation to the project objectives. Researcher has
used different communication tools in this project as such- Emails, Social media, Telephones,
Fax etc. in order to collect information and communicate with the stakeholders.
Risk- Risk are the uncertain circumstances that arises during the project execution. The
risk factors causes loss and delays in the completion of the activities of the project(Bernard,
2017). Researcher has to ensure and be prepared with the effective measures for the occurrence
of risk factors in project like- Data loss, data manipulation, physical injury and other common
risk elements. The consequences of the risk may delay in the results for the project and will
disturb the time schedule for the activates as well as incur financial loss to the researcher as well
and thus teb researcher must be prepared with the preventive actions for dealing with the risk.
Resources — Resources comprises all the necessary elements that are needs in the
successful completion of these research project. Without the availability of the adequate and
required resources the project activities are difficult to accomplish on time. The researcher has
utilized different types of resources such as- laptops, stationary, internet connection, telephones
etc.

Research Methodology
Research Methods- Research methods comprises the techniques and tools of conducting a
particular research. They are used for collecting and analysing the data for research. Quantitative
and qualitative are the two types of research methods. Quantitative methods are used where the
data collected is in the numerical forms including facts and figures(Lohr, 2019). Qualitative
methods are used where the data collected contains the people's reviews, suggestions,
perceptions, choices and mindset toward particular element and when the data collected is in
unstructured form. This research project is based on then use of qualitative method to obtain the
outcomes related to the project topic.
Research Approach- research approaches refers to the plan and procedure for collecting,
analysing and interpreting the data into a systematic manner for obtaining accurate outcomes.
There are two types of research approach- Inductive and Deductive approach. Inductive
approach starts with the findings and hypothesis is planned at the ending of the study procedure
due to set of observations(Lune and et.al., 2016). Deductive approach comprises developing the
hypothesis based on the existing theory and testing the research approaches after that. Researcher
has applied deductive research approach as it is suitable for qualitative data.
Sampling- Sampling is the selection of different variables from a wide range of population and
these variables are known as samples. There are two types of sampling- Probabilistic sampling
and Non probabilistic sampling. Probabilistic sampling involves calculation of possibilities or
chances for the selection of samples, here there are equal chances for the variables in the
population. Non probabilistic sampling involves sample selection on the judgement of the
researcher and his experience and knowledge related to the data. In non probabilistic sampling
the chances for all the variables are not equal for getting selected. This research project is based
on non probabilistic sampling where 20 HR managers from Nestle Plc are been selected to get
the outcomes and answers regarding the topic of the project.
Data Collection- After the selection of the sample size the next step is to collect the data from
the respondents. Data collection refers to collect the data from all the relevant sources and
collecting the answers for the research questions. Primary and secondary are the two methods for
collecting the data. Primary method includes collection of data directly from the respondent in
the form interviews, questionnaire, reviews etc. It is the raw form of data and need to be

structured to arrive at the specific outcome(Bell and et.al., 2018). Secondary data collection is
the data collected from the already published sources such as magazines, books and journals,
internet articles etc. This research will utilize primary method of data collection in the form of
questionnaire.
Data Analysis- Data analysis is the evaluation of the data collected from different sources in
order to arrive at particular result from it. Quantitative and qualitative are the two types of data
analysis in research. Quantitative method includes scientific solution or the use of different tools
like SPSS and spreadsheet for evaluating the data and obtaining results. Qualitative includes the
use of range of strategies and action plan for evaluation of qualitative information and transform
them into particular outcome. Researcher has used qualitative data analysis in this project.
